�How do you manage to keep a cool head when things may not be going your way or the media are on your back?� - Cade Boyce, Paraparaumu Beach

I focus on what I do well and don�t dwell on criticism. I understand that people have their views and that those views may be contrary to what I believe. But people are entitled to have their opinions and all I can do to change perceptions or opinions is try my very best to perform on the field. Players do react differently to what�s reported in the media � some get upset but most don�t let it worry them too much. From my point of view if criticism is constructive and not personal, then I don�t have too much of a problem with it.
